I hear that he also ate a wheel on the same trail at some point 
First, we had a blast! Besides the "minor" mishap I've had on the trail, we had a blast! It was part of the adventure.

Crazy thing was that was the last big rock on that trail! You had a great crew with you and I'm glad we got you down off the trail. I'm glad you made it home and I hope you weren't in too much trouble getting home a little later. Look forward to the pics.
You didn't happen to find a red and silver Warn D ring by that rock?
No....? Oh well it was like 8-10 yrs ago that I left it right there

Finished installing a rear view camera. A bit fiddly, but well worth it.
Then it took me to my buddy's Oktoberfest party in the Santa Cruz mountains. Is four tire pressure attendants overkill?

Sorry Mike, I tagged the wrong boots! Lol.
Ron on the 100 said, the tail gunner never left until we got on the dirt road... I said, yeah, that is what a tail gunner is all about - not gonna leave you!
Trail leader - will be there for you!
We got home safely. Actually uncle had high temp... froze his tensioner bearing and snapped the belt and luckily we were at Grants Pass and there was an Oreily... Wifey was worried but luckily I didn't get in trouble.
You guys rock! Can't wait till next year!
This time I'll be checking the studs before I leave! Or maybe get ARP studs...
Thanks again Mike! I owe you and Chad a lot.

no. but as we see here they can often be lazy and drink beers instead.
Spent Saturday with the little guy changing out rear diff fluid, transfer case fluid, oil and started into the front knuckle rebuild. Drivers side was Birf soup, came out the holes when I removed the bolts on the casing. I only got as far as getting everything removed and cleaned on the drivers side. Will do re-assembly and the passenger side this coming Saturday along with extending the diff breathers.
Things to take note of, removing the old races is not very easy. Getting that inner axle seal out is a mother fxxxer. And getting the seal out of the hub was also a bit challenging stubbing my finger in the process. Disk goes into a vise when I tackle the other side...

I have this seal puller and used it on my front end rebuild, valve cover seals, and the crank seal as well as many other jobs on different vehicles. $14 is a freaking bargain, you won't regret it.

I'd like to extend my warm appreciation to:
@RadarFJ40 of LCNW for all the parts and being a good friend!
@Boots and guns aka Mike - I hope I had the mud name right
@CreeperSleeper aka Chad
@ThreeEyedBandit aka Matt
@retrofive for his winch
Cascade Cruisers rocks!
Thanks for all the help getting me down from that trail.
Oregonians are very friendly, they even fill the tank for us! Lol.
But the trail with rain pouring was not so friendly.
I need to gather all pictures after I get settled. Just barely getting back to the Bay Area!
Here's a teaser.... Errrr... Not really!
Mike is in awe!

Heard about this but had to leave before y'all got back. Was wondering how you were going to move it. That took some ingenuity.
I did Archer's in my stocker then looked at the top of Rocky Up Hill and said "nope" and bypassed it.
Is there an order to these things or can both of them be magnetic?
Any order you want, same thread.
Poorly worded. Both front and rear can be the 18021 magnet ones right? I just called Toyota and all they have is 18040.
My new receiver from mudder I Lean came in the mail today. I got it painted and installed this evening. I had been using a Curt 13091 Class III receiver for almost 3 years. it stuck out, and down, so far that I usually only put it on the bumper when I had to use my little 4 x 6 lawn trailer. The new one has 1 3/4" more ground clearance, and 2 1/2" more shin clearance, so hopefully I'll be able to just leave it on the whole time.

Installed the best $350 Craigslist purchase I've found ever. Some MetalTech sliders. Solo install sure is fun!

Sure, wear something nice and come over.
Monday? Weren't Wednesdays saved for that purpose?
